DEPARTMENT OF CALIFORNIA.
- DEAR TRIBUNE: AT a meeting of the Department.
Pratt Carr expressed herself as exceedingly grati-
ned with the condition of the Corps and the reports
OF Corps Chaplains show that the Corps generally
took active part in assisting the Grand Army in
making the last Memorial Day one of the most suc-
cessful ever observed in California.
AT a meeting Of the Woman's Relief Corps Home
ASSOCIATION the following officers were elected:
President, Elizabeth Darcy Kline; V.-P Sarah
Pratt Carr; See. Cora Rabbit; Treas b. Jane
RUSSELL The Home Association is composed Of the
present Department officers and Council of Admin
istratIon, IA in ALL and six additional members
elected by the officers of the Department. of Cali
fornia The association will also have an Advisory
Board OF seven gentlemen, and Gen. Solomon, the
Department Commander of the Grand ARMY of the
Republic, has kindly volunteered his services to
Assist the association. Articles of incorporation
nave been prepared under his advice and will be
filed at once. A Building COMMITTEES consisting of
sarah Pratt Carr, Kate Smith, Mrs. Bradley Smith
Emma McAuley, Mary II. Jordan, Geraldine Frisbie
ana NORGE Franklin, has been appointed. Com
rade Wharf,, of Lincoln Post, has kindly volun-
teeTed to furnish plans for the Home The ASSOC
citation has i've and a quarter acres Of land and
$3.50 home of this character is much need in
our state, as there already several aged widows
entirely dependent upon the Relief Corps who
could be made very comfortable in a suitable
nome, anu IL Is becoming serious question to
solve as to what shall be done with the wives and
children of the veterans who go to the veterans
homes to remain leaving their families Rithout
any means OF support. The land and money con-
tributed for the home to be built by the Womans'
Relief Corps of the Department Of California has
not come from the pockets of Grand Army men,
but from the generous loyal men and women Of
California the first 500 having been subscribed by
Emma McAuey, OF Lincoln Corps which was at
once added TO by s25 from Mrs stevens of Sacra-
mento. This Is the strong point of the W O. in
that IL enlists the interest of all loyal women and
puts its hands into the plethoric pockets of those
who would shower their benefactions upon the old
soldiers and their families
Lincoln Corps still swells its roll of working
members. All its officers are active iDspirinn the
members with greater zeal. The President Mrs
Culver alone has made 90 visits among destitute
families since Jan. l. and the regular Visiting and
Relief Committee IS kept well employed. Pacific
Knox, the most faithful Treasurer of the Corps has
held the office two years and has never been absent
from her post Of duty and is pleasant and agree
able that the members enjoy paying their dues to
her.
If Mrs. Lydia Wharf Senior Vice President and
of the Relief Committee is invited on
any tour of pleasure her invariable answer is: q
can't go have got too many families to visit this
week, shoes and groceries to buy, and so much to
attend to for the Corps"
The members of the Corps meet regularly at the
hall every Wednesday afternoon To sew for a bazaar
to be held in the Fall and to repair and remodel
clothing. Some OF the members who have fine
voices have formed glee club, and at future en-
tertainment5 the Corps will not be Obliged 10 de-
pend upon outside talent for singing
Sarah Pratt Carr, the Department. President of
the Noman's Relief Corps made official visits to
Sumner aud FAIR Oaks Corps at SACRAMENTO and
was most cordially received and entertained These
Corps she reports in most excellent working order
and with large regular attendance.
The Corps in Southern California are fully alive
TO their work and duty, and the last Memorial Day
was more generally observed in that portion of the
State than oa any previous year The comrades of
the Grand Army attribute this in a great measure
10 the assistance of the Woman's Relief Corps.
